Resignation | Best (and worst) reasons for quitting your job

Finally handing in your notice is generally the product of either outgrowing your position, or a long and arduous process of enduring stress and anxiety until finally, your current employer is no longer a tolerable and sustainable option.

It can be a stressful and messy ordeal, depending on the reasons for your departure, yet in such situations, finding an employer with whom you can grow and develop without feeling stifled is completely justified.

Yes, throwing yourself at the mercy of chance to seek a new job is risky, but in the current candidate-driven market, quitting is a trend that is on the up.

The average employee in 2019 will cycle through upwards of 10 jobs in their career, whilst according to ONS findings, over 51% of the workforce is either seeking new employment now, or will look within the next 12 months – this is despite the fact that 74% of respondents to a Balance Careers study claimed to be satisfied in their role.
